Notes

High hopes for this one! <3

The idea here is to use the Twister Halloween to achieve a nice gradient throughout the tee, and insert the Twister Solid in the middle, where the gradient turns orange, to get a nice long bit of orange stripe. Then do the same at the hem, with black Twister Solid.

Kinda sucks that it’ll take so long, though. considering adding some sort of frill to the body to maybe encourage me to withstand the sea of stockinette.

I am doing a slip stitch edge on the v neck side, in order to forgo the i-cord edging, as to not disturb the gradient.

Split the gradient cake when the single white strand left changed into single grey one, and started knitting with solid orange colour just after joining in the round. I’ll knit with the orange long enough to split for sleeves (in about 10 rounds now), and maybe add boob darts, and then continue on with the gradient. I just really don’t want to be bothered much with trying to match gradient on (short) sleeves, those will be all orange too.

Added boob darts.

Finished sleeves now instead of later, had enough of the multiple spare circular cables tangling about.
